It is located down town Pawtucket, rigth SIC next to the Pawtucket city hall. Tolman was originally built in 1864. I am imforming SIC all the parents and all of thestudent SIC that are planing to enroll in this school. Consider the test score and other information that is goin SIC to be given and compare it with other high schools in the district. In this context report I will be addressing the communtiy SIC background, the school district, and school information.
COMMUNITY BACKGROUND
Pawtucket was founded in the year of 1671. It is a city of made up of 72,958 people. It is about 37 miles south west Of Boston Massachusetts. I SIC was here that the history SIC Slater Mill was developed. Samuel Slater Successfully created and operated machines for spinning cotton yarn it the year of 1793. In Pawtucket about 44 percent of adults are married. They have more single adults than any other place this size. Pawtucket has a mean family income of 39,038 dollars. 90 percent of Pawtucket workers living drive to work. (CITATION?)
SCHOOL DISTRICT
Tolman High School falls under the providence school district SIC . Tolman consist of 494 freshman, 365 sophomores, 291 juniors, and 232 seniors. Out of all the students that attend Tolman, 11 people are American Indian/Alaskan,23 are Asian/Pacific Islander, 328 people are Hispanic, 169 people are Black (Non-Hispanic) and 851 are White (Non-Hispanic). There are 51 percent males and 49 percent females. For the 1,382 students there are 109 teachers. In the year of 4004-2006 the juniors and seniors took and assessment for English and for Math. In the year of 2004 the 46 percent of students met or exceeded the standards for English and 34 percent met or exceeded the standards for Math. The year of 2005 the numbers dropped for subject, math 31 percent and English 38 percent. Then the class of 2006 juniors came along (my class) and boosted up the percentage. For math 42 percent met or over exceeded the standards and for English 51 percent met or exceeded the standards.
SCHOOL INFORMATION
There are a lot of positive things going on in Tolman. Tolman offers so many good programs to keep the students busy. They have different types of sports like,basketball, football,tennis,vollyball, track ect. They also have after school activites that are very productive, like Mock Trial, the Robitics team, best buddies(which is an organiztion that is deticated to enhancing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities). The national honor socity,the key club, and the Gamm theater, just to name a few. Along with that come the dance /step team. I was the caption for three years. It really forced me to take on more responsiblity. At first I wasnt sure if I could do it but I was well supported by the advisor. When you are in any of these activities you have to keep a certain grade. If you don't keep up your grades you have to sit out and watch everyone from the side lines. That is one thing that Tolman does not play with. They help you stay on top of your work.
CONCLUSION
This context report show that Even though Tolman high school had some down fails in the past they are makeing an effort to do and be better. When you compare the two pawtucket public schools you can see that Tolman is way ahead of Shea when it come to acidemics. We are better in acidemics and a lot others. Over all Toman is an okay school. It has its flaws as well as its good parts, just like any other school.
